Answer 2

When I was twelve, I started cooking too! It's the perfect age to start. Try making homemade cakes and cookies! I know that when I was twelve I loved to make desserts! Here is a great website with recipes that you can make: www.bettycrocker.com. Also try making up your own recipes! A good way to make your own recipes is to experiment with pies. Just take a regular pie crust mix and make it and add your own fillings! It's that simple! Another way to experiment with desserts is to make a simple sugar cookie (there are recipes on bettycrocker.com or you can buy pre-made dough at the store). Add your own ingredients to the sugar cookie such as nuts, chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, toffee chips, m&ms, skittles, whatever you think would sound good.
If you want to make a meal, try making a vegetable omelet. I love them and I'm 14. Here is the recipe:
It takes about 15 mins to make.
You need:
1. 2 eggs
2. Onions (chopped)
3. Red and Green Bell Peppers (Diced)
4. Garlic (Minced)
5. Salt and Pepper
6. 1/2 cup of Cheese
7. Two pats of butter
8. A teaspoon of milk
What you need to do:
1. Get out a large frying pat, set it to medium heat, and put a pat of butter in it.
2. Add the garlic, and once the butter melts, add the rest of the vegetables.
3. When the vegetables are fryed and crispy, take them out and set them on a plate.
4. Crack the eggs in a bowl and add the milk.
5. Add a little salt and pepper to the eggs for seasoning, and beat the eggs with a fork.
6. Get out a pan and put a pat of butter in it.
7. Pour the eggs in the pan, and when the edges look a little foamy, use a spatula to put them to the middle. The eggs from the middle will go out to the sides.
8. When you are done with this, if there is still a little raw egg in the middle of the omelet, use your spatula to put it somewhere where it will get cooked.
9. When all of the egg is cooked, take the cheese and sprinkle it over the eggs. Next take the vegetables off of the plate and put them on top of the cheese.
10. Use your spatula to fold the omelet over, put on a plate, and enjoy!
Makes one serving.
Hope I helped and good luck with cooking! :)

Answer 3

Make a white cake - cook according to directions - let cool completely -- IN the pan, don't remove the cake. Then take a straw (or wooden spoon handle) and poke holes all over the cake. Mix up a package of your favorite flavor of Jello and pour over the cake. Put in refrigerator till completely set. Frost the cake with Cool Whip. Nice and refreshing on a hot evening and will cost about $5 -- or less if you find the items on sale.
